अधर्मज्ञो नित्यवैरी पापबुद्धिर्नृशंसकृत् । सत्यां प्रतिज्ञां नचिराद्रक्ष्यसे तां सुयोधन॥५-१६०-१६॥

You who know adharma, a perpetual enemy, of tainted intent and cruel deeds—before long, Suyodhana, you will be compelled to “keep” that true vow, that is, to face its consequence.

english translation

अभिमानस्य दर्पस्य क्रोधपारुष्ययोस्तथा । नैष्ठुर्यस्यावलेपस्य आत्मसंभावनस्य च॥५-१६०-१७॥

“(The fruits) of self-conceit, pride, anger and harshness; of cruelty, arrogance, and self-exaltation…”

english translation

नृशंसतायास्तैक्ष्ण्यस्य धर्मविद्वेषणस्य च । अधर्मस्यातिवादस्य वृद्धातिक्रमणस्य च॥५-१६०-१८॥

“…of ruthlessness and sharpness; of hostility toward dharma; of adharma, of excessive contentious speech, and of transgressing against elders…”

english translation

दर्शनस्य च वक्रस्य कृत्स्नस्यापनयस्य च । द्रक्ष्यसि त्वं फलं तीव्रमचिरेण सुयोधन॥५-१६०-१९॥

“…and of crooked perception and total deviation from right conduct. You will soon see the fierce result, Suyodhana.”

english translation

वासुदेवद्वितीये हि मयि क्रुद्धे नराधिप । आशा ते जीविते मूढ राज्ये वा केन हेतुना॥५-१६०-२०॥

When I am roused to wrath, with Vāsudeva as my second, O king of men—on what grounds, deluded one, do you still hope for your life, or even for your kingdom?
